HTML Rendering Crashes IE
SlimySlimy writes "According to this article on Secunia, a new IE exploit was found that crashes almost any version of Internet Explorer past 4.0 with just 5 lines of plain HTML code (no JavaScript, ActiveX, etc.). If you're very brave, you can test/crash your IE by going here." There's also a note on SecurityFocus.
Agreed. IE for mac is insanely slow compared to its alternatives.
This page was generated by a Barrel of Circus Midgets, and that is the way I like it!!!
To enforce web standards. Just have the browser crash when the code isn't up to the standards.

Would have been nice to give people more advance notice of this!

I don't know about that... I was working on a website recently at a new media company that used lots of Macs, and used IE as their main browser. I was doing a lot of javascript for them and I found a bunch of different ways to crash ie on mac with javascript.
Our biggest stability problems were with IE on Mac.

"I used to consistently crash Mozilla on some Hotmail pages."
You must be lost - On Slashdot, Hotmail crashes Mozilla.
Beep beep.
Last week, I posted right here the fucking code that crashes it, and two assholes moderators moderated it into "reduntant".
